Hi! I am a bit confused in regards to my Airport extreme and connecting a harddisk to it. I have a drive which is formatted as mac extended jurnaled that has 2 partitions. One for files and one for backing up my mac. Setting things up in time machine when smoothly and its backing everything up as it should. However when i try to use the drive or the other partition as a network harddisk i can’t find it in finder. >From what i understand I should enable file sharing within the airport utility >at the disks tab. So i open up the airport utility and interact with the network area and navigate to my airport extreme and click on that. Then i press edit and get all the tabs from where i select the disks tab. Here are my two partitions showing up and file sharing is enabled. There’s also a checkbox to enable it to be available via wan but i have not that checked. Then we come to the secure harddisk with and here i have selected to secure my harddisk via a disk password. Then i click save and update and when the thing gets started i went into finder and pressed shift cmd c to access my computer. I go down to network and open that. Here i see my airport extreme so i expand the item but here things stop working. I don’t see my partitions at all. But when i open Vlc on my Android Phone i can gain access to the disks with no problem. So i don’t get this at all. I can use the android phone but not my Mac to gain access to the network disks. Very strange. /A
